Nikki Haley’s State of the Union Response Sours Tea Party Voters’ Mood
NY Times ^ | January 19, 2016 | Alan Rappeport

It has been almost a week since Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina suggested in a State of the Union response that her fellow Republicans dial down their anger. For Tea Party activists in her state, the advice has served only to frustrate them further.

At the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention that concluded on Monday, conservatives were excited to hear from Republican presidential candidates such as Donald. J. Trump, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Huckabee. But mention of Ms. Haley had a tendency to sour moods.

Nikki Haley's State of the Union Response Sours Tea Party Voters' Mood

Was a supporter of Nikki Haley. Now am an opponent. She needs to be primaried. She has chosen not to dance with those who brung her.

Ah, the Democrat NYT is salivating at the prospect of a divided GOP that will hand the presidency to one of the Communist senior citizens running on the Democrat/Socialist ticket.

The Republicans were stupid to have nominated McCain and Romney because it gave the Leftists the template to win, even when their party has totally screwed up the country.

Ms. Haley became a sell-out the day she unilaterally decided to remove the Confederate flag from a Civil War memorial on the capitol grounds. That was the appropriate place for it since Democrat governor Fritz Hollings put it on the capitol to extend a middle finger to the civil rights movement in the 1960s.

Removing it from the war memorial makes about as much sense as canceling the M.L. King holiday the next time some black racist kills a bunch of white people.

So soon? It doesn't seem like she has been there long enough for a second term... But i'll take your word for it.

Time flies when you're getting old. :)

It was like a cloudburst on a comfortable warm fire. I had a sneaky suspicion the speech would be such. What was supposed to be a Republican response to Obama was all about what Niki thinks. We had an opportunity with free -time to critique and criticize what the Left-wing dems think and do. Instead we got a canned speech from a RINO(that words is too compliamentary for her) telling the world that the GOP was as much to blame as Obama and the Dems. I still am not over the depression and disappointment of her self serving oratory. She needs to be primaried out.

I’m fine with the GOPe showing its colors yet again.

It’s a boost to the insurgency as the GOPe kicks itself in the groin.

THANK YOU NIKKI-—For revealing your true colors and for forever ruining your chances of being selected as a VP running mate.

That’s because she didn’t respond to Obama’s SOTU address. There was nothing in her “response” that was a rebuttal to anything Obama said. She went after the Republican base and the Republican front runners for President. Never in my life have I seen that.

"If you're giving the State of the Union response, you should explain why you oppose the president's policies instead of attacking fellow Republicans."

Bingo!
